      Ah what happened to the sunny Malvolio of the past years?

      If even you are afraid of that I am starting to fear for the future...

        Definately.

        Only downside is a loaf of bread with cost £500.

          True.

            Nobody considered the option of UK being totally flooded?

              Not a downside if you prefer to eat cake.

                  By 2012, all those on the bench will have gone bankrupt/started working in McDs/jumped off Beach Head. They will be deemed to be ineligible for new roles as they don't have "recent experience". The government of the day will therefore have to ease the hiring of contractors from overseas, to do the jobs local people don't want to do.

                  I do hope I don't sound too bitter.
